New Hires for Regionals
 

High flamebait potential. If you can answer his question, do so. Otherwise, just let this thread die a quick, flameless, death.

Soldier boy, how many hours do you have? Might help folks answer your question. Not all "new flight school recruits" have the same quals.

lol ya think
I'd just lock this thread up and delete it from existance if it were me...:eek:
Or i'm wondering if the OP made this thread just for that reason???

just close the thread now....there is no point

While I understand how people who spend a lotta time on this site get irritated (and rightly so, since there is a search function), we gotta keep letting new people know:

If you go to GoJet, you will be considered a scab (a bad thing, if you don't know what that is), by pilots across the country.

I heard there was a recent CAPTAIN from GoJet in New Hire training at Pinnacle. A dude who was living in base, and building TPIC, who left the company for PINNACLE to do the street captain thing (we're not the greatest co. either, but we're sure as heck not scabs). Think about how bad a company must be for someone to give up 2-4 years of seniority and a left seat (for a few months), and a domicile in your hometown...think about it!!!

You obviously don't have the first clue as to what a scab is.

No dude, they do.....

He's asking about working at GoJet. I'm just letting him know that many pilots will think he's a scab. Whether he meets the dictionary definition of scab or not doesn't matter. All that matters is what the pilot on the interview board down the road in his major interview thinks--and if that pilot thinks this guy is a scab, the definition doesn't matter--he won't get the job.

I was actually telling that story about the gojet dude the other day to a fedex pilot, and I said "yeah, that's crazy that guy left GoJet for us"...he said "maybe the guy didn't wanna be a scab anymore--good for him." No joke. If that kind of sentiment goes all the way up to fdx (at least with pilots from civilian backgrounds who know about gojet) one should seriously consider going to such a company.

On the other hand, I do know some military guys at the majors who never went through the regionals who don't care or know about places like gjets.

PS> Notice I never said the guy would "be" a scab if he went to gojet...all I said was "other pilots will consider you a scab." Which is a well-established fact.

Who are you flying 742s for?
